“Well, I don’t have to smooth these under me every time I sit down,” Michael replied with a smile as he sat. “But I don’t mind my uniform so much.” He added. “I thought it would be really cold wearing shorts in October, but it’s not so bad.” He explained. “I just walk faster if it’s really cold.” He added with a knowing smile.
“Well, you can always wear something other than your knee socks.” His mother hinted.
“I don’t wanna wear those mum.” Michael moaned, knowing exactly what she was getting at.

“Do you have some tights?” His aunt asked.
Michael nodded. “I just don’t like the idea of wearing them.”
